Thanks! Not the typical Iron look...I wanted at the beginning. This was definitely not the path I considered when I got the Iron a year ago. But with a 45 mile round trip / 5 days a week with gas prices going up....I decided making a commuter was the way to go....Besides the gas prices...I do enjoy the ride to/from work...Well....Anytime I can get on the Iron!
I like the way the Saddlemans follow the fender contour, and I also like the fact theyre tucked in about as tight against the fender as you can get. Really nice job!
The only problem I can see, and I'm sure you've found this out, is the mounting studs inside the bags are a bit too long. Real easy to tear up a hand when youre reaching blindly inside the bag. Try using nylox nuts, and trimming the excess with a dremel from the studs. Your hands will thank you.

Thanks for the comment....and thanks for the tip! I am going to do your suggestion before inserting the bag liners. I would hate to rip a liner....and of course..my hands. Thanks again!
Love the baby bagger look man. But its all in what you're into, to hell with everyone else... I went that way with my 48 too with some viking lamellar hardcase bags. What seat do you have on that? I like the look.
